Summar
8、y of Test Method3.1 A small volume of working sample is prepared bydilution of the sample with the method eluant. This dilutedsample is filtered and pumped through two ion exchangecolumns and a suppressor and into a conductivity detector. Ionsare separated based on their affinity for exchange sites
9、of theresin with respect to the resins affinity for the eluant. Thesuppressor increases the sensitivity of the method by bothincreasing the conductivity of the analytes and decreasing theconductivity of the eluant. The suppressor converts the eluantand the analytes to the corresponding hydrogen form
10、 acids.Anions are quantitated by integration of their response com-pared with an external calibration curve and are reported asmilligrams per litre (mg/L).4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides for the qualitative and quan-titative determination of common anions in engine coolant inthe
11、 milligrams per litre to low percent range and requires onlya few millilitres or microlitres of sample per test, with resultsavailable in less than 30 min.Acceptable levels of chloride andother anions vary with manufacturers blending specificationsand applicable ASTM minimum or maximum specification
12、s.5. Interferences5.1 Interferences can be caused by substances with similarretention times, especially if they are in high concentrationcompared to those of the analyte of interest. Sample dilutionwill be used to minimize or solve most interference problems.5.2 A water dip (solvent system peak) can
13、 cause interfer-ence with some integrators. This is eliminated by dilution withthe eluant if the sample dilution factor is 49 + 1 (v/v) or greater.Below this dilution, it is best to add a spike of eluantconcentrate to the sample such that the sample is not dilutedsignificantly and the resulting test
14、 solution matches the eluantused in the system. One method is the addition of 100 L of100X eluant concentrate to 10.0 mL of sample or standard.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D15 on EngineCoolants and Related Fluids and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeD15.04
